The e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer is a standout product for those with oily skin, providing a long-lasting matte finish that keeps makeup in place throughout the day. Its thick, sticky texture initially may feel unusual, but it effectively grips foundation and minimizes shine. Guests appreciate its affordability, sleek packaging, and the fact that it is fragrance-free. This primer is ideal for summer use and works well under various makeup products, making it a versatile addition to any beauty routine.

Good product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im not a huge fan of matte primers but this had a very nice texture, makeup still transfers but that is because I have pretty oily skin. Blends nicely with foundation depending on what you use. Can be removed with micellar water. Coverage is good, a little product goes a long way

Matte Primer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This primer is good to use but there are some things I don’t like. I know it’s a Matter primer, but applying it can be a bit difficult as it dries pretty fast and feels too drying on the skin. However, it is a good primer as it definitely helps keep my makeup in place. However since it is drying, I feel like you need to apply more of this primer compared to others.

Finally Found My Go-To Matte Primer
I’ve tried everything from high-end primers to drugstore options, and this one honestly stands out. The e.l.f. power grip matte primer is easily the best out of all the e.l.f. primers I’ve used. It keeps my makeup in place all day while actually controlling shine instead of just promising to. If you’re someone who tends to get oily, this is absolutely worth trying. It grips your makeup without feeling heavy or drying, and the matte finish looks smooth—not flat or cakey. I keep reaching for this over products that cost three times as much. Highly recommend if you want long-lasting wear and real oil control.

Personally not for me, but seems to be working alr
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be honest with you, I’m not crazy about how sticky this is. It’s just not my thing. But I can feel that it somewhat holds onto the skin when you layer foundation on top. Personally not for me, but I didn’t wanna give it low stars just because I didn’t like it! It might work for others!

Yikes
I’m confused about all of the good reviews. I used this primer for about a week and each day I was so worried about how my makeup looked. You could see EVERY pore on my cheeks and it was very embarrassing. I’d never use this primer again.

It actually works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grip is actually insane. There’s no product that matches what this primer does for me honestly. Top tier primer, please just go get it already.

Matte and Long Lasting!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Elf power grip primer is easily one of the best drugstore primers I’ve tried! You can’t really beat the value! When applying it glides across the skin smoothly and creates a matte and velvet base without being heavy! It blends seamlessly! The formula is lightweight and breathable but still durable. Helps keep my make up on and looking good all day!

I received this item for free. It does grip really well but, it feels like thick glue on my face. I am worried about it breaking out my skin. I decided to only use this with concealer so it doesn’t crease. It is alright but I would not purchase this item.

good
Really good for the price! The mist is lightweight, refreshing, and helps my makeup stay in place for hours. It’s not super mattifying, but it gives a natural finish. Great affordable setting spray.

Do not use this. It caused me to have a horrible reaction that I’m having to go to the dr to get rid of.

Good pigment
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Power grip elf matte primer is so good on my face. Applies so easily. Doesnt have a scent . The consistency is smooth and pigments well on my face . I apply it before my foundation.
